Mesmerism, With Hints for Beginners (Classic Reprint)

There being a demand at the present time for aT ext-B ook for beginners who are inquiring into Mesmerism, I asked Captain James to allow me to republish, in book form, some articles he had written on the subject for a newspaper of mine. He was diffident. He said that, as a soldier, his literary experience had been small; he had been in the habit only of writing brief notices of siances in which he said what he had to say in the plainest words, and then laid down his pen. I replied that that was exactly what the public wanted; there was too much book-making nowadays, and that if a few soldiers would but take up the pen, and briefly popularise scientific subjects in plain words, so much the better would it be for everybody. Finally he gave way, and this useful little work, which is a great enlargement of his previous articles, is the result. WILLIAM H. HARRISON.
